Menu Plan / Routine How To Jan 30

Before I get into my boring menu plan and routine you have got to read this story at My Life and Kids...it made me laugh so hard! Even if I had that story I wouldn't have been able to tell it like she did.

Need a place for your menu? How about the fridge - check out ThisTreasuredLife!

Menu Plan AKA Menu Routine

Breakfast Menu Plan
Lunch - leftovers or whatever for me (kids eat school lunch and they typically provide lunch for my husband at work)

Dinners (we eat a primalish /paleoish diet  - limited grains/sugar).

I wrote more about menu planning over at my blog WeeklyGroceryShopping.Com...here it is in action:

1. Outside Activities
What will conflict with supper preparations this week?

• 3 basketball games - woo hoo! All games are at home this week; not really sure what we ate last week it's a blur with so many nights away from home!

2. Pantry
What's in my cupboards, fridge and freezer?

• 1 hunk o' salmon
• Pork Chops
• Hamburger
• Roasts
• Rice
• Frozen veggies and fruit

3. Ideas for Dinner

• What can I make that my son loves?
• What can I make that my daughter loves?
• What can I make that my husband loves?
• What can I make that I love?
• What recipes have I found online that I want to try?

4. Make a Plan

1. KISS night (keep it simple silly - same thing every week).  Chef salads: spinach, romaine, chicken, bacon, thawed peas, cheese, green olives and hard boiled eggs . 
2. Bball game 1 -  Cheesy Chowder (lots of primal / paleo changes)
3. Asian Beef  serve with salad
4. Qdoba's steak - SimplyRecipes and sweet potato fries
5. Bball game 2 - eating it at the game...lunch meat slices in romaine lettuce wrappers and hard boiled eggs.
6.  Chicken in Cream Sauce (using pork chops possibly) and  roasted veggies or out to eat.
7. Hubby cooks (Salmon ?)

MUST TRY THIS WEEK - bad habit of not trying new things!
Salt and Vinegar Chickpeas
 Primal Chocolate Mousse

Tried and true recipes:
Josie's Shepherd Pie, Comfort Roast and  Horseradish Sauce,
